Hey Ben, You should try the next test: install netcat with "apt install netcat" Then run the next two commands: netcat -v -l -6 4444 netcat -v -l -4 4444 and send us the output of these. You can change the ports to 3128 which doesn't work and see what might cause this issue. It's possible that your VPS hosting service is using a custom kernel or another thing happens there. It's not squid by itself that is at fault in this issue since it was tested on more then one system over the last 10 years including Ubuntu 20.04.

I tried your method. it worked in a few VM instances but not on others. All have the same version of ubuntu 20.04. I just have no idea why Squid is so glitchy. same methods, same OS, sometimes it did start accepting connection on the specificed TCP port, but most of times it didn't. I also tried to install from a PPA repos and it is the same story.
